Otoplasty in Tampa
Your ears play an essential role in your overall appearance. When they are too large or protrude, they can draw unwanted attention and affect your confidence. Children are especially vulnerable to teasing, while adults may feel self-conscious in social or professional settings.
Dr. Dean G. Davis, a dual board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, performs otoplasty (ear surgery) for patients from Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Gainesville, and throughout Florida, to restore balance and proportion to the ears.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a procedure that reshapes or repositions the outer ear (pinna) to create a more balanced and natural appearance. It can correct ears that are overly large, protruding, or misshapen due to genetics, trauma, or prior surgery. Otoplasty is commonly performed for children and adults and can be paired with procedures such as earlobe repair or piercing revision. Some patients combine otoplasty with rhinoplasty or cheek and chin augmentation to further balance and refine their facial features.

Additional Ear Procedures
Earlobe Repair: Corrects torn, stretched, or split earlobes caused by trauma, heavy earrings, or gauges. This simple outpatient procedure restores a natural appearance and allows patients to safely re-pierce their ears after healing.
Ear Piercing Revision: Repairs stretched or uneven piercing holes, closes old piercings, or prepares the ear for a new piercing placement.
Earlobe repair and ear piercings are typically combined with otoplasty (or other facial plastic surgery treatments) rather than being performed as standalone procedures at our office.
How Much Does Otoplasty Cost in Tampa?
The cost of the procedure varies depending on the extent of correction and your surgeon’s skill level. During your consultation, Dr. Davis will provide a personalized cost estimate. While otoplasty and earlobe repair are typically elective procedures not covered by insurance, CareCredit® financing is available to make treatment more affordable. We also accept cash and credit card payments.
Why Trust Your Transformation to Dr. Davis?
As a dual board-certified, fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Davis focuses exclusively on the face and neck. He’s known for his precision, artistry, and personalized approach to otoplasty and other facial rejuvenation procedures. In his skilled hands, your otoplasty results will look natural, balanced, and complement your overall appearance.
Otoplasty can be safely performed once a child’s ears have reached near-full development, usually around age 5 or 6. This timing allows correction before school-age teasing becomes a concern. Dr. Davis will evaluate whether your child’s ears are ready for surgery during a consultation.
Will otoplasty change my hearing?
No. Otoplasty only reshapes the external ear and does not affect the inner ear structures responsible for hearing. The procedure is purely cosmetic or reconstructive, without impacting auditory function.
Are otoplasty results permanent?
Yes. Once cartilage is reshaped and healed, otoplasty results are considered permanent. While natural aging may cause subtle changes, most patients enjoy long-lasting improvements without requiring follow-up surgery.
